- Subject: Extra spaces in text files in cygwin
I am a brand new user of cygwin and I'm already having troubles. Whenever I
grep or cat or otherwise dump the contents of a text file to stdout, there
are extra spaces between all characters. For instance, if file abc.txt
contains:
This is abc file
then, `cat abc.txt` returns
T h i s i s a b c f i l e
Anyone know what might cause this?
